As I'm sure many of you have heard by now, there is a new "human trafficking" scandal that has surfaced within the last few weeks. "God the Mother" is the newest scheme for human trafficking.
Human trafficking is a very important issue that many places have going on at this moment in time. However, until this recent scheme, it has not been brought to light very much.
By just going through social media, I have read stories. I know some stories that you read on social media cannot and should not be believed in. But I have read stories of people in my city experiencing being stopped by these people. That was the point when it started to get real, to see that a woman was stopped in the Shoprite that I shop in.
The first thought that crossed my mind is that it could've been me. In the past few weeks, there have been many similar reports filed, most of which occurred on college campuses. These reports claim that women have tried to stop other passing females by engaging them in conversation. They then attempted to exchange phone numbers and lead the females away from campus.
Now, as with most of what I see on social media, something did not seem right. So, I did what anyone would do. I decided to do some more research on it.
Initially, I came across pretty unreliable sources. But then I found something reasonable. Apparently, this is not a form of human trafficking. The many incidents that have been reported are being investigated. However, at this moment, there has been no cause for concern.
When thinking about God, most people associate him as male. However, there are some religions that believe in God the Mother. I guess that will have to be something I explore a bit deeper in the future. But for now, comment down below what your thoughts are about "God the Mother".
Do you think it's legit? Or do you think that it's just someone trying to get their "15 minutes of fame"?
